I completely understand. I don't get their convience foods for this reason. There are not many things that are healthier than their supermarket couterparts. But at the same time I support as much of what they bring to society as what they bring to my table. That is part of my "Trader Joe's Love".
The exploitation of the cultures is another thing that I have trouble with at Trader Joe's. Trader Giotto, Trader Jose, Trader Ming and Trader Jacque... ugh... they piss me off. As do the kanji on the bottles of soap that happen to have bamboo oil, and the little fat italian guy pictured on my speghetti sauce. But I would rather shop somewhere that expliots culture instead of people.
